ALLSTARSIT takes care of everything for you – we have a 360° approach with a full recruitment cycle
Payroll Cycle
In Ukraine, the payroll frequency is strictly regulated. Employees are mandated to be paid bi-weekly, with two payments each month, known as the advance payment and final payment. The payroll cycle occurs between the 15th and 20th and then between the 31st and the 7th of the subsequent month. Additionally, payments should be made no more than 7 days after the conclusion of the relevant pay period, ensuring that the gap between two paydays does not exceed 16 days.
Employer Taxes
In Ukraine, employers serve as withholding agents, deducting income tax from employee wages. They are responsible for routinely reporting these withheld amounts to local authorities and also bear the responsibility of making social security payments on behalf of their employees. The standard tax rate for employment income is 18%, and there's an added 1.5% military tax imposed on all earnings.
Overtime Pay
Overtime work beyond the standard weekly hours is subject to regulations specified in employment contracts or collective agreements. Employees may be asked to work overtime or on holidays, but there's a limit of 4 hours over two consecutive days and a maximum of 120 hours annually.
Any overtime that exceeds 40 hours weekly is compensated at a rate of 200% of the employee's regular hourly wage. If overtime occurs on a rest day, an alternative rest day may be offered instead of payment.
It's prohibited for pregnant employees, those with children under 3 years, employees below 18, and those attending school or college to work overtime. For women with children aged 3 to 14 and people with disabilities, employers must obtain consent before assigning overtime.
In specific situations, like accidents causing production disruptions or to prevent production standstills, overtime might be obligatory.
Paid Leave
After six months of continuous work, employees have the right to at least 24 days of paid annual leave. This entitlement can be higher for minors and those in challenging or hazardous roles. Any unused leave days can be carried forward for future use.
Sick Leave
Employees have the right to four months of paid sick leave. While the employer covers the payment for the initial five days, the Social Insurance Fund compensates for the remaining duration.
Public and Provincial Holidays
There are 12 public holidays in Ukraine. Public holidays falling on weekends are moved to another day instead.
Notice Period
The required notice period varies based on who begins the termination process:
13th Month Bonus
While Ukraine doesn't mandate a 13th-month salary, many employers choose to offer it. This additional payment is seen as a gratuity, with employers often giving it or other performance-related bonuses.
Launching a distinct business operation in Ukraine with the aim of team formation can be an intensive task, often accompanied by substantial legal expenditures.
Concurrently, mastering Ukrainian labor laws and aligning with employee expectations represent intricate and formidable challenges. These issues are magnified by the imperative to secure accurate and contemporary employment data specific to Ukraine. Furthermore, the task of administrating contracts and overseeing invoices through emails and spreadsheets is prone to becoming chaotic and mistake-ridden.
In this context, ensuring compliance is paramount, with a critical need to conform to Ukrainian regulations, especially in matters pertaining to taxes and legalities.
